So the king of Assyria was told, “The nations whom you have sent into exile and settled in the cities of Samaria do not know the custom of the god of the land; so He has sent lions among them, and they are killing them because they do not know the manner of [worship demanded by] the god of the land.”
Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
This message was then sent back to the king of Assyria: “The people you brought in to occupy the towns of Samaria don’t know what’s expected of them from the god of the land, and now he’s sent lions and they’re killing people right and left because nobody knows what the god of the land expects of them.”
So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations whom you have carried away into exile in the cities of Samaria do not know the custom of the god of the land; so he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them because they do not know the custom of the god of the land.”
A report was given to the king of Assyria. He was told, “You forced people to leave their own homes and live in the towns of Samaria. But they don’t know what the god of that country requires. So he has sent lions among them. And the lions are killing the people off. That’s because the people don’t know what that god requires.”
It was reported to the king of Assyria: “The people you deported and resettled in the towns of Samaria do not know what the god of that country requires. He has sent lions among them, which are killing them off, because the people do not know what he requires.”
It was reported to the king of Assyria: ‘The people you deported and resettled in the towns of Samaria do not know what the god of that country requires. He has sent lions among them, which are killing them off, because the people do not know what he requires.’
So a message was sent to the king of Assyria: “The people you have sent to live in the towns of Samaria do not know the religious customs of the God of the land. He has sent lions among them to destroy them because they have not worshiped him correctly.”

فَبَعَثُوا إِلَى مَلِكِ أَشُّورَ رِسَالَةً قَائِلِينَ: «إِنَّ الأَقْوَامَ الَّذِينَ قُمْتَ بِسَبْيِهِمْ وَإِسْكَانِهِمْ فِي مُدُنِ السَّامِرَةِ يَجْهَلُونَ قَضَاءَ إِلَهِ هَذِهِ الأَرْضِ، فَأَطْلَقَ عَلَيْهِمِ السِّبَاعَ فَافْتَرَسَتْهُمْ، لأَنَّهُمْ يَجْهَلُونَ قَضَاءَهُ».

Bald wurde dem assyrischen König gemeldet: »Die Völker, die du in den Städten Samariens angesiedelt hast, wissen nicht, wie der Gott dieses Landes verehrt werden muss. Darum hat er Löwen in das Land geschickt; schon haben sie viele Menschen getötet! Und das nur, weil niemand weiß, was der Gott dieses Landes von ihnen verlangt.«

Onmiddellijk zonden zij de koning van Assyrië de boodschap: ‘Wij, kolonisten hier in Israël, kennen de wetten van de God van dit land niet. Hij heeft leeuwen op ons afgestuurd, omdat wij Hem niet aanbidden.’ 27,28 De koning van Assyrië beval dat een van de verbannen priesters naar Israël moest teruggaan om hen de wetten van de God van het land te leren. Zo keerde een van hen terug naar Betel en leerde de kolonisten uit Babel hoe zij de Here met ontzag moesten dienen.

Man rapporterade då till kungen i Assyrien: ”De folk du har utvisat och placerat i Samariens städer känner inte till hur landets Gud ska dyrkas, och därför har han sänt lejon bland dem som håller på att döda dem, därför att folk inte vet hur de ska dyrka honom.”
